[Verse 1]
Boots on gravel, fence line bent
I’ve buried bruises, I’ve paid the rent
Mud on my hands, storm in my chest
Still I keep moving, I do my best
[Pre-Chorus]
If that black cloud comes my way
I square my shoulders, I don’t sway
I’ve been low, but I don’t stay
I know my God won’t walk away
[Chorus]
I won’t back down
I won’t break now
God on my side
I’m still standing proud
I won’t back down
Through the hard hell
I’ll see the other side
And I’ll tell it well
[Verse 2]
Rust on the gate, cracked front steps
Long hard nights with no regrets
Every scar tells what I’ve seen
Every loss made something mean
[Pre-Chorus]
If that black cloud comes my way
I square my shoulders, I don’t sway
I’ve been low, but I don’t stay
I know my God won’t walk away
[Chorus]
I won’t back down
I won’t break now
God on my side
I’m still standing proud
I won’t back down
Through the hard hell
I’ll see the other side
And I’ll tell it well
[Bridge]
Let the thunder shake the trees
Let it test the man in me
I’ve got fire in my bones
And a prayer that won’t let go
[Chorus]
I won’t back down
I won’t break now
God on my side
I’m still standing proud
I won’t back down
Through the hard hell
I’ll see the other side
And I’ll tell it well
